MEDIHEAL Watermide Moisture Pad is the hydration workhorse of the range — a multi-weight hyaluronic acid blend plus a soothing botanical oil complex, for skin that drinks toner and still feels tight.

The 14-pad zipper pouch is the travel and trial size of MEDIHEAL's best-selling pad line — enough for two weeks of daily use, or to test a formula before committing to the 100-pad tub. Each 67 mm pad has rounded edges and a quilted side for light exfoliation, a smooth side for toning.

• Multi-Weight Hyaluronic Acid — hydrates at several depths at once
• Botanical Oil Complex — olive, rosemary, clary sage, chamomile and fir
• Squalane & Beta-Glucan — seal moisture in and comfort the barrier
• Allantoin & Licorice Root — calm redness and sensitivity

Des pads hydratants à l'acide hyaluronique, pour les peaux sèches et déshydratées. 14 pads.

MEDIHEAL Collagen Ampoule Pad is the firming member of the pad family — a collagen-and-peptide ampoule soaked into a toner pad, for skin that has started to look a little less bouncy than it used to.

The 14-pad zipper pouch is the travel and trial size of MEDIHEAL's best-selling pad line — enough for two weeks of daily use, or to test a formula before committing to the 100-pad tub. Each 67 mm pad has rounded edges and a quilted side for light exfoliation, a smooth side for toning.

• Collagen Complex — plumps and supports the look of firmness
• Hydroxyethyl Urea & Betaine — deep, lasting hydration
• Hydrogenated Lecithin — helps the ampoule absorb
• Allantoin & Licorice Root — soothe as they treat

HETRAS Perfume Essence Hand Lotion in Hotel Wood is a generous 515 ml pump bottle built for the place hands actually get washed — the kitchen counter, the bathroom sink, the entryway. The lotion sinks in quickly without the slick film that keeps you from picking your phone back up.

It carries the brand's signature Hotel Wood scent — warm cedar and sandalwood over clean musk — so hands keep a soft fragrance trail long after application. At this size it is far better value than a tube, and the pump makes it easy for the whole household to share.

• 515 ml pump bottle — family size, countertop-friendly
• Hotel Wood fragrance — warm woods and clean musk
• Fast-absorbing — no greasy residue
• Daily hydration — for hands dried out by frequent washing

Une lotion pour les mains parfumée au bois de cèdre et santal, format familial 515 ml avec pompe.

HETRAS Textile Perfume in Soosunhwa is a fabric and air mist from the Korean home-fragrance label that made hotel-style scenting a daily habit. A few sprays on a coat, a scarf, bed linen or a car seat leave a clean, lingering trail with none of the heaviness of a room spray.

Soosunhwa — Korean for water lily — is the softest of the three: dewy lotus and white florals on a powdery musk base. The formula is made for textiles — it dries without leaving marks on most fabrics and deodorises as it scents.

• For fabric and air — clothing, linen, curtains, car interiors, closets
• Long-lasting sillage — a signature scent that follows you through the day
• Deodorising base — neutralises odours rather than masking them
• 80 ml — slim enough for a bag or a desk drawer

Un parfum textile coréen floral au lotus, pour vêtements, linge de maison et voiture. 80 ml.

HETRAS Textile Perfume in Santal Fresh is a fabric and air mist from the Korean home-fragrance label that made hotel-style scenting a daily habit. A few sprays on a coat, a scarf, bed linen or a car seat leave a clean, lingering trail with none of the heaviness of a room spray.

Santal Fresh pairs creamy sandalwood with a crisp citrus top — lighter and more open than Hotel Wood, good for everyday wear and warmer weather. The formula is made for textiles — it dries without leaving marks on most fabrics and deodorises as it scents.

• For fabric and air — clothing, linen, curtains, car interiors, closets
• Long-lasting sillage — a signature scent that follows you through the day
• Deodorising base — neutralises odours rather than masking them
• 80 ml — slim enough for a bag or a desk drawer

Hotel Wood is the brand's signature: warm cedar and sandalwood over clean white musk — the scent of a freshly turned-down hotel room. The formula is made for textiles — it dries without leaving marks on most fabrics and deodorises as it scents.

• For fabric and air — clothing, linen, curtains, car interiors, closets
• Long-lasting sillage — a signature scent that follows you through the day

ACROPASS Jolly Filly Lip Plumping Patch is a microneedle lip patch — the same dissolving-needle technology ACROPASS built its reputation on, shaped for the lips. Hundreds of hyaluronic acid microneedles dissolve into the lip surface over 30 minutes, carrying the actives past the dry outer layer instead of sitting on top of it.

The result is a fuller, smoother-looking lip with softened vertical lines. A gentle warming tingle from capsicum extract is part of how it works. Ideal the night before an event, or any time lips look flat and crepey.

• Hyaluronic Acid Microneedles — dissolve into the lip for direct hydration
• Acetyl Octapeptide-3 — targets the look of fine vertical lip lines
• Capsicum Extract — the warming "plumping" sensation
• Ascorbyl Glucoside & Allantoin — brighten and soothe

Un patch repulpant pour les lèvres à micro-aiguilles d'acide hyaluronique. 2 patchs, 30 minutes par application.

DR.ALTHEA Retinol Flat Iron Eye Roller combines an eye serum with a cooling, hands-free gua sha applicator. The flat metal head glides along the orbital bone to help de-puff and drain in the morning, while dispensing a measured amount of retinol serum — no fingers, no tugging, no waste.

Inside is 1,000 ppm retinol buffered with bakuchiol and a 5% Cica Retisome complex, so it targets crow's feet, under-eye lines and upper-lid laxity while staying tolerable on the thin skin around the eye. Vegan and free of artificial colourants.

• Retinol 1,000 ppm + Bakuchiol — fine lines, crow's feet and eyelid firmness
• 5% Cica Retisome with Madecassoside — soothes and buffers the retinol
• Peptide Complex (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5, Hexapeptide-1 & -8) — dark circles and puffiness
• Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramide NP & Panthenol — hydrate and protect the barrier
• Cooling gua sha applicator — de-puffs and helps the serum absorb

Un soin contour des yeux au rétinol, avec applicateur gua sha rafraîchissant. Rides, cernes et poches. 25 ml.

ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Cleansing Gel is the cleanser from the line that made the brand famous — built on mineral-rich deep sea water drawn from 1,025 metres off Korea's Dokdo island. It is the cleanser to recommend to anyone whose skin feels tight after washing.

The low-pH gel uses mild amino-acid surfactants rather than harsh sulfates, so it lifts away sebum and daily grime while the hyaluronic acid and seaweed extracts leave the skin soft and supple. Fragrance-light, non-stripping and suitable for sensitive skin.

• Dokdo Deep Sea Water — mineral-rich hydration from 1,025 m depth
• Amino-Acid Surfactant Blend — cleanses without stripping the barrier
• Hyaluronic Acid & Beta-Glucan — keep moisture in during cleansing
• Kelp & Nasturtium Leaf Extract — soothe and condition

Un gel nettoyant doux à pH bas, à l'eau de mer profonde de Dokdo. Pour les peaux sensibles et déshydratées. 150 ml.

MEDICUBE Rosemary PDRN Scalp Serum is a leave-in scalp treatment for anyone noticing more hair in the brush than usual. The slim applicator tip parts the hair and delivers the serum straight onto the scalp, where it absorbs without the greasy residue most scalp products leave behind.

It pairs rosemary extract — long used to support scalp circulation — with salmon-derived PDRN, caffeine and peptides in a light, water-based formula. A cooling menthol finish makes it pleasant to use daily. One 20 ml bottle lasts roughly 2–3 months.

• Rosemary Extract — a scalp-care classic, supports a healthy scalp environment
• PDRN (Sodium DNA, 100 ppm) — salmon-derived, for scalp conditioning
• Caffeine & Hydrolyzed Yeast — energise and condition the scalp
• Panthenol, Allantoin & Menthol — soothe, condition and cool

Cosmetic scalp and hair care product. Not a treatment for hair loss or any medical condition.

MEDICUBE PDRN Collagen Glow Jelly Serum is the "glass skin in a bottle" serum from Korea's best-known home-aesthetics brand. Formulated with 80.9% collagen water instead of plain water, it has a bouncy jelly texture that melts on contact and leaves a dewy, light-catching finish rather than a greasy one.

Salmon-derived PDRN (Sodium DNA) is paired with peptides and astaxanthin to work on firmness and resilience, while pearl extract and niacinamide lift a dull, tired complexion. Lovely worn alone for a glow, or layered under makeup.

• Collagen Water 80.9% — the base of the formula, for plumpness and bounce
• PDRN (Sodium DNA) & Salmon Egg Extract — support skin resilience and recovery
• Niacinamide & Pearl Extract — brighten and add luminosity
• Ceramide NP & Astaxanthin — strengthen the barrier and protect against dullness

MARY & MAY Spicule Collagen PDRN Cream is the gentler sister to the brand's retinol spicule cream — same micro-spicule delivery, but built around collagen and PDRN rather than retinol. That makes it the one to reach for if you want firmness and bounce without retinol's adjustment period.

Marine-derived spicules open microscopic channels so hydrolyzed collagen and Cica PDRN can work where they matter, while polyglutamic acid and ceramide NP hold moisture and keep the barrier comfortable.

• Marine Spicules 2,000 ppm — micro-channels for deeper active delivery
• Hydrolyzed Collagen — plumps and supports the look of firmness
• Cica PDRN — supports recovery and the collagen barrier
• Polyglutamic Acid, Ceramide NP & Panthenol — deep hydration and barrier comfort

Une crème raffermissante au collagène et PDRN, avec spicules marines. Sans rétinol, 15 g.

MARY & MAY Spicule Retinol PDRN Cream is an at-home take on a clinic "spicule" treatment. Around 180,000–200,000 marine-derived micro-spicules — each finer than a pore — are suspended in the cream, creating microscopic channels that help the actives reach deeper, faster.

Retinol is delivered in nano-liposome form at 1,000 ppm, which stabilises it and softens the irritation retinol usually brings, while Cica PDRN works on recovery and the collagen barrier. Expect a brief tingling sensation — that is the spicules at work.

• Marine Spicules 2,000 ppm — micro-channels for deeper active delivery
• Nano-Liposome Retinol 1,000 ppm — wrinkles, pores and texture, with less irritation
• Cica PDRN — supports recovery and the collagen barrier
• Panthenol 2%, Ceramide NP, Hyaluronic Acid & Allantoin — buffer and soothe

Une crème anti-âge au rétinol encapsulé et aux spicules marines, pour les rides et le grain de peau. 15 g.

SHAISHAISHAI Repair Milky Urea Glow Bubble Serum is a dual-layer serum that you shake to combine before use — a watery phase for immediate hydration and a milky phase for barrier lipids. It absorbs fast, leaves no tack, and gives skin a soft-focus, well-rested glow.

The hero active is 20,000 ppm of 99%-pure urea, a humectant that both draws in water and gently refines rough, flaky texture. Nine peptides work alongside it on the look of firmness, while ceramide NP and panthenol keep sensitive skin comfortable.

• Urea 20,000 ppm (99% purity) — deeply hydrates and smooths rough texture
• 9-Peptide Complex — including copper tripeptide-1 and acetyl hexapeptide-8, for firmness
• Ceramide NP & Hydrogenated Lecithin — rebuild barrier lipids
• Niacinamide, Panthenol & Sodium Hyaluronate — brighten, soothe and hold moisture

Un sérum bi-phase à l'urée, hydratant et lissant, pour un teint éclatant. Convient aux peaux sensibles. 110 ml.

KOPHER Curepair Melder SOS System is an intensive rescue treatment for skin that has been pushed too far — irritated after a procedure, stinging after a strong active, or simply tired and dehydrated. Each 1.5 ml tube is individually sealed, so the highly concentrated formula stays fresh and travels easily.

The milky balm-cream grips the skin more firmly the longer it is rolled in, forming a comforting veil over a compromised barrier. Built on a 44% base of chamomile and honeysuckle flower extracts with a complex of ten skin-signalling peptides, it works as an overnight cream substitute during a flare-up, or as a twice-daily SOS layer.

• 44% Chamomile & Honeysuckle Flower Extract Base — calms visible redness and irritation
• 10 SH-Oligopeptides & SH-Polypeptides — support the skin's own recovery signals
• Cera-Booster V Complex — patented soothing and anti-irritation blend
• Coolistar-Biome Ferment — a five-plant fermented blend for moisture retention
• Centella Asiatica, Licorice Root & Green Tea — layered botanical soothing

Un soin SOS intensif en ampoules individuelles, pour les peaux irritées et la barrière cutanée fragilisée. 20 tubes de 1,5 ml.

WHIPPED Yujamong Vegan Pack Cleanser is a 2-in-1 cleanser and rinse-off mask whipped for over 48 hours into a cloud-light cream. Leave it on for a minute as a brightening pack, then add water and it transforms into a dense, cushioning lather that lifts away sebum and impurities without stripping.

Korean yujamong (yuzu-pomelo) extract brings a fresh citrus lift to dull, tired skin, while bakuchiol — a gentle plant-based retinol alternative — works on the look of fine lines. Fully vegan.

• Yuzu & Grapefruit Extract — revive a dull, uneven complexion
• Bakuchiol — plant-based retinol alternative for fine lines
• Niacinamide — brightens and refines texture
• Ceramide NP & Sodium Hyaluronate — keep the barrier hydrated through cleansing

Un nettoyant visage vegan 2-en-1 au yuzu, qui se transforme en masque éclat. Texture fouettée, 130 g.

KOCOSTAR Collagen Chin Lifting Mask is a stretchy hydrogel patch shaped for the chin and jawline. Loops hook over the ears so the mask stays put and holds a gentle lift while the gel delivers its serum — a 25-minute reset for the lower face before an event or at the end of a long day.

The hydrogel sheet clings closely to the contour of the jaw, keeping the actives in contact with the skin and preventing evaporation, so the chin area is left plumper, smoother and better hydrated.

• Hydrolyzed Collagen — plumps and improves the look of firmness
• Niacinamide — brightens and evens tone
• Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 & Dipeptide Complex — target the look of fine lines
• Centella Asiatica & Sea Algae Extracts — soothe and hydrate

Un masque hydrogel raffermissant pour le menton et la mâchoire, au collagène. Soin ciblé de 25 minutes.

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Gentle Cleansing Milk is a creamy milk cleanser that melts away sunscreen, light makeup and daily grime while leaving the skin soft, calm and never tight. It is built on SKIN1004's signature Centella asiatica extract, sustainably harvested in Madagascar.

The milky emulsion rinses clean without a film, making it an excellent single-step evening cleanser for dry, sensitive or barrier-compromised skin, or the first step of a double cleanse on heavier makeup days.

• Centella Asiatica Extract (2,000 ppm) — soothes irritation and supports barrier recovery
• Hyaluronic Acid & Beta-Glucan — hold moisture in during cleansing
• Ceramide NP & Phytosphingosine — replenish barrier lipids
• Panthenol — calms and conditions

Un lait démaquillant doux au Centella asiatica, parfait pour les peaux sèches et sensibles. Nettoie en douceur sans assécher.

COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser is the cult-favourite Korean morning cleanser, now in a 50 ml travel size. Its mildly acidic pH (5.0–6.0) matches the skin's own, so it lifts away overnight sebum and residue without stripping the moisture barrier — skin is left soft and comfortable rather than tight and squeaky.

The low-foaming gel contains betaine salicylate (BHA) to gently clear congestion inside the pores, plus a blend of botanical oils that calm and refresh. Perfect for the gym bag, carry-on or as a first try before committing to the full size.

• Betaine Salicylate (BHA) — gently decongests pores and smooths texture
• Tea Tree Leaf Oil — purifies and soothes blemish-prone skin
• Allantoin & Centella-family botanicals — calm redness and sensitivity
